Lukas Furtenbach discusses running a Everest 2021 expedition in the middle of COVID

The Everest 2021 season is about a month away and operators are busy buying, packing, and preparing for a safe season. This year, only the Nepal side will be climbed since China closed their side due to COVID.  I reached out to Lukas Furtenbach, of Austrian-based Furtenbach Adventures to discuss the season. We covered a lot of topics but dug deeply into his impressive use of technology to keep his clients safe. We covered:  Preparing for the upcoming season Status climbing in Tibet this spring and autumn Furtenbach's COVID safety plans for EBC and high camps How you are using advanced technology altitude tents for pre-acclimatization oxygen delivery Biometric tracking You can follow their climb on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I will be covering Lukas and all the action on Everest this spring on my Blog.
